Legal
Terms of service
These terms govern your use of the Karmat Engineering website, applications and APIs. Read them before you integrate: by requesting an API key or using any service, you accept them on behalf of yourself and any organisation you represent.
Effective 27 August 2026
Questions? [email protected]
Acceptance of terms
By accessing our website, applications or APIs you agree to these terms. If you are accepting on behalf of an organisation, you confirm you have authority to bind it. If you do not agree, do not use the services. Where we have signed a separate written agreement with you, that agreement prevails over these terms to the extent of any conflict.
Definitions
"Services" means our website, applications and APIs. "Customer Data" means content you submit to the Services, including prompts, clinical features, images and audio. "Output" means what a model returns in response. "API Key" means the credential issued to you. "End User" means an individual using your product, whose requests reach us through your integration.
Eligibility and access
API access is granted on review, not on demand. You must give accurate information in an access request and keep it current. We may approve or decline a request at our discretion, and may withdraw access where the stated use case turns out not to be the actual one. You are responsible for everything done with your API key, whether or not you authorised it, until you revoke it.
Acceptable use
You may not use the Services to break the law or facilitate someone else doing so; to attempt to reverse-engineer, extract or reconstruct our models or training data; to scrape, resell or redistribute Output as a competing model or dataset; to circumvent rate limits, quotas or access controls; to submit personal data you have no lawful basis to process; to generate content that harasses, defames or endangers a person; or to present Output as human-authored where that would mislead. We may suspend access immediately where we reasonably believe a breach is causing harm.
Clinical and professional use
Optical Diagnostics is clinical decision support. It is not a medical device certified for autonomous diagnosis, and it does not replace clinical judgement. You must ensure a qualified clinician reviews any output before it informs patient care, must not present output to a patient as a diagnosis, and must retain the disclaimer we return with every response. Seerah AI returns religious material with its sources; it is a research aid, not a substitute for qualified scholarly guidance. You are responsible for the regulatory approvals that apply where you deploy.
Your data and content
You keep all rights in Customer Data. You grant us a limited licence to process it solely to provide the Services, to secure them, and to comply with law. We do not use Customer Data to train our models without your separate written agreement. You warrant that you have the rights and lawful basis to submit what you submit, including any consent required from your End Users, and that doing so does not infringe anyone's rights.
Output and its limits
Subject to these terms, we do not claim ownership of Output generated for you. Output is produced by statistical models and may be inaccurate, incomplete or unsuitable for your purpose. It is not legal, medical, financial or religious advice. You are responsible for reviewing Output before you rely on it or act on it, and for any decision you take on the basis of it. Identical or similar Output may be generated for other customers.
Intellectual property
The Services, our models, model weights, source code, documentation, designs and trade marks are and remain the property of Karmat Engineering Limited or our licensors. These terms grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable right to use the Services as documented, and nothing more. You may not remove proprietary notices, and you may not use our name or marks without written permission.
Availability and changes
We aim for high availability but do not guarantee uninterrupted service unless a separate written agreement says otherwise. We may modify, suspend or discontinue a feature; where a change is breaking, we will give reasonable notice through the documentation and, for account holders, by email. Preview and beta features may change or be withdrawn with shorter notice and are excluded from any service commitment.
Fees
Where a service is charged, fees, billing period and payment terms are set out in your order or invoice. Fees exclude taxes, which you are responsible for. Test keys are provided free and are rate limited accordingly. Non-payment may result in suspension after notice. Preview access may be provided without charge and carries no commitment to continue on those terms.
Privacy and data protection
Our handling of personal data is set out in the Privacy Policy, which forms part of these terms. Where we process personal data on your behalf through an API integration, you are the controller and we are the processor; a data processing agreement is available and will govern that processing. You are responsible for your own lawful basis, notices and consents in respect of your End Users.
Disclaimers
To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Services are provided "as is" and "as available", and we disclaim all implied warranties including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy and non-infringement. We do not warrant that Output will be correct, that the Services will be error-free or uninterrupted, or that defects will be corrected. Nothing here excludes liability that cannot lawfully be excluded.
Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, neither party is liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or for lost profits, revenue, data or goodwill, however caused. Our total aggregate liability arising out of or relating to the Services is limited to the amounts you paid us in the twelve months before the event giving rise to the claim, or one hundred United States dollars where you paid nothing. These limits do not apply to death or personal injury caused by negligence, to fraud, or to any liability that cannot lawfully be limited.
Indemnity
You will indemnify and hold us harmless against third-party claims, losses and reasonable costs arising from your use of the Services in breach of these terms, from Customer Data you had no right to submit, or from your deployment of Output in a way these terms prohibit. We will notify you promptly of any such claim and allow you to control the defence, provided any settlement releases us fully.
Suspension and termination
You may stop using the Services and revoke your keys at any time. We may suspend or terminate access on notice for material breach, non-payment, or where continued access poses a security or legal risk — and immediately, without notice, where the risk is severe. On termination your right to use the Services ends, and we will delete or return Customer Data in accordance with the retention periods in the Privacy Policy. Provisions that by their nature should survive termination do so.
Governing law and disputes
These terms are governed by the laws of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, without regard to conflict of law rules. The courts of Ondo State have exclusive jurisdiction, save that either party may seek injunctive relief in any competent court to protect its intellectual property or confidential information. Before filing, both parties agree to attempt resolution in good faith for thirty days.
Changes to these terms
We may update these terms as the Services or the law change. The effective date above reflects the current version. Material changes will be notified to account holders by email at least thirty days before they take effect. Continuing to use the Services after that date means you accept the updated terms; if you do not, stop using the Services and revoke your keys before the date.
General
These terms, together with the Privacy Policy and any signed agreement, are the entire agreement between us. If a provision is held unenforceable, the rest stands and the provision is limited to the minimum extent necessary. Our failure to enforce a right is not a waiver of it. You may not assign these terms without our written consent; we may assign them to a successor entity. Neither party is liable for delay caused by events beyond its reasonable control.
